Based in Nuits-St-Georges the Grivot holdings improved vastly with Jean's marriage into the Jayer family.  Etienne, Jean's son is the current winemaker who focuses on firm, concentrated flavors and pure Pinot aromas.

 

"A very Vosne spicy and elegant red and black fruit nose nuanced with hints of violets complements to perfection the seductive and velvety flavors that coat the mouth with ample amounts of sap to buffer the firm but buried tannins that surface on the suave finish. An excellent villages but note that patience will be required." Allen Meadows (rated 89, Wine Advocate's David Schildknecht rated 89-90).
